🦜Alexandrine Parakeet

Psittacula eupatria (Linnaeus, 1766)

De grote alexanderparkiet (Psittacula eupatria) is een exoot uit de Kasjmirregio van Zuid-en Zuidoost-Azië, die naar Europa is gehaald. De vogel is vernoemd naar Alexander de Grote en was waarschijnlijk een van de eerste soorten parkieten die in Europa als kooivogel werd gehouden. In de loop der jaren is een aantal van deze vogels ontsnapt of vrijgelaten. Zij bleken te aarden in West-Europa en kunnen zich vermenigvuldigen, maar ze zijn veel minder talrijk dan de verwante halsbandparkiet.
